On Saturday evening of last week we
accepted an invitation to visit the West
amwell Literary Society. The exercises
consisted Of declarations and readings
which we enjoyed very much. We no.
ticed that the young ladies had the
major part of the exercises. We earnest
ly hope that the young folks will keep
meetings in progress as long in the sum
mer as possible, as the good result emf
mating from Literary meetings will be
reaped in years to come. The member
ship is large and all are enthusiastic over
the meeting, and there is always good
attendance. The meeting was held at
the residence of the Misses Lolly and
Lizzie Clark.

A Witoh's Fate.


Not many decades ago in this country.
the people were excited over witchcraft.
Persons suspected were thrown into the
water; ifnot witches, they would drown;
if they were witches, they would swim
ashore, and would be put to DEATH In
any event, they were doomed.
Not many years ago if person were
taken sick with advanced disorder Of
the kidneys, the physician would pro-
nounce the disease Br'ght's disease, and
when 50 declared, he regarded his res
possibility at an end, for medical au-
thority admitted that the disease was in
durable.
When the physician found patient
thus afflicted, he would say, "Oh, u
slight attack Of the kidneys; will be all
right in little while" He knew to
the contrary. But if he could keep his
patient on his hands for few months,
he knew he would derive great reve-
nue. from his case, and then when the
disease had progressed to II certain stage,
he would state the facts and retire, ex-
onerated from al blame.
But the error of supposing the disease
incurable, has swayed the public mind,
long after the fact has ceased to be. But
public opinion has been educated to the
true status of the case by those who
have discounted the incurability theory,
aud the public recognizes and testifies to
the fact that Warmers safe cure is spe-
citic for this disease. This has been
shown with thousands of testimonials.
Upon referring to them in our files
we find that 5000 reward will be given
to any one who can prove that so far as
the manufacturers know they are not
genuine, and that hundreds of thousands
similar in character could be published,
if it were necessary
This condition of things is very anus
ing to the journalist, who looks upon all
sides of every question. Proof should
be accepted by all, but prejudice fights
proof for many years. 1t seems strange
that when proprietary medicine is
doing the good that Warmers safe cure
is that the physicians do not publicly in
dorse it. Many of them, we are told
privately prescribe it, as it is sold by
dealers in every part of the country.
A few years ago, as stated, when {
man had Bright's disease, the doctor
boldly announced it, because he thought
it relieved him Of responsibility.
To-day when prominent people are
dying land hundreds of thousands o
common people die of the same disease)
we are told that doctors disguise the
fact that it is Bright's disease of the kid.
neys and say that they die of paralysis
of apoplexy, of pneumonia, of consump.
ton, of general debility, of rheumatism
ofheart disease, of blood poisoning, OIL
some other of the names of the direc
effects of kidney disease. They are no
the real disease itself
We sometimes wonder if they avoit
stating the real cause of disease for fea
they will drive the public into patronage
of the only scientific proprietary specif
for kidney diseases and the thousand an,
one diseases that originate in inactiv
kidneys.
